Here’s the Recipe for Homemade Bread in a Crockpot

Ingredients Needed for Basic Crock Pot Bread Recipe:

3 cup Flour

1 tsp Salt

2 tsp or 1 packet Yeast

2 tbsp Sugar or Honey

2 tbsp Oil

1 cup warm (not hot!) Water

How to Make Basic Crock Pot Bread Recipe Directions:

Measure flour into large bowl.

Add salt, sugar and yeast and mix together well.

Add Oil and water.

Stir with a spoon until it gets stiff and sticky.

Work the dough with your hands (occasionally scraping dough off your fingers) until it forms a nice ball.

If it stays too sticky add a bit more flour (1/4 cup at a time). If it gets too dry add a bit more water (teaspoon at a time).

When it forms a good ball, scatter flour on you work surface and turn out ball on to surface.

Knead dough for 5-6 minutes.

Line crockpot with parchment paper.

Place dough in crock pot and cook on high for 1 – 1 1/2 hours.

You will need to lift bread out with the parchment paper to see if the bottom is browning.

When bottom is browning, place loaf under broiler for a couple of minutes to brown top.

But of course, you can use it however you want, including sandwiches, toast and more doughy goodness! This is a process that is so easy, you could do it daily (like we need) if your family loves and wants your homemade loving touch. 🙂
